You can see the other Friday nighter's projects over at Cheryl's.
Yesterday I joined in with the 8th Chookshed party hosted by Chookyblue
Last year Raewyn and I had a special visit the Chookshed after we had been at Baradine
This year because of the virus Chooky couldn't have her usual gathering on site so instead invited us virtually. Chooky set up a Zoom meeting which started at 7 am my time, now I have to say I have not seen much of 7 am for the last few months and have definitely not been up and functioning by 7 am!! I was a little late to the start but had a wonderful day, met some new to me bloggers and got to chat and listen along with ladies from from Belgium, France, the US, Canada, New Zealand, Germany and Australia.
People came and went thru the day depending on what they had one and their time zone
Sylvia in the yellow highlighted square was up, dressed, had her show and coffee and the kitchen cleaned by 4am and joined in!! How is that for dedication. Sylvia lives in Germany.
Janice and her hubby Mick made a birthday cake and lit the sparkler! Photo top row, second from right.
I spent the day sewing hearts into rows, four rows are together, then I joined another three rows of hears together, then my hands said enough! I had a break to have dinner then went back to the party
and traced cut and glued the epp pieces for the Old Time Kaleidoscope blocks
I have these three to do and then go onto the side pieces. The tricky fussy cutting is next to be done, when I have a clear head!
Today we have #2 son and his girlfriend visiting, so I need to do some house work, we were planning a BBQ lunch but so far the weather has not been good, it is cold and wet!!
Have a wonderful day and happy stitching.
loving your epp....

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! I know it costs money to have a long session like that, but what a wonderful way to spend the day! Now THAT would be a good use for zoom. I'm not as crazy about it for school. LOL Your fussy cutting on those tiny pieces is beautiful.

ReplyDeleteLove your fussy cut blocks... & a great virtual visit with Chooky & friends.
ReplyDeleteWasn't it great, to take part in the Zoomshed party and spend the time chatting? I"m just sorry I couldn't get back again Saturday afternoon. YOu got a lot of hand work done over the weekend. I love how your heart blocks are coming together.
ReplyDeleteI am sure you would have preferred an in-person get-together, but isn't it wonderful that technology can overcome so many obstacles (except maybe the need to have clothes on!)?
ReplyDeleteThe fussy-cutting really makes these patches sing. Great job! Loving watching these come together.
ReplyDeleteThe zoom get together looks like so much fun!
